Anyways, whenever I think of the perfect dream, I think of flying a B-29 superfortress with a crew made up of my closest friends.

ok so you rated a glitched post dumb because?
I had a real messed up dream a week ago but I didn't decide to post it until now.
I dreamt that I was swimming at some swimming pool place, and that it was getting dark and cloudy and shit outside. It then started to pour down with rain and giant black hailstones whilst there was frequent flashes of lightening. I saw several buildings burst into flame because of being hit by lightening and the dream felt real. I really felt like I was swimming around and shit. Eventually I had a massive jolt and spasm and awoke in my bed to find that a cat had jumped on top of me.

why do you think.
Argument over. You win, whatever. Just stop.
I dreamed i went to the future and saw my current girlfriend, gave her a hug then saw one of my mates and he said to me "Have i changes since the past matt?" i said "Not really lol" and then the dream ended, and this all after using the Inception App for iPod Touch/iPhone.

holy fuck my dumb detector is flying off the charts
you realize the inception app doesn't help induce dreams at all it just makes cool noises using the sounds that surround you
Stop shooting innocent people down geo. He was simply explaining one of his dreams to us and what he did consciously that could have influenced his dreaming. We do not shoot down people who don't deserve it here.

I agree though, the Inception app is mainly just marketing placebo.

God, you two shit this thread up a LOT.
Anywho, I downloaded the sleep cycle alarm clock for my iPhone. I recommend it. Not because it'll make you go lucid DIRECTLY, but if you use it for about a week, two things will happen.
One, you'll get WAY more sleep than usual. It's fantastic.
Two, you'll get graphs of when you sleep and when you're in REM. Use those graphs to pick an approx. time to WBTB, and you'll do it every time. I've tried it exclusively WBTB with this app and I've done it three days in a row.
How does it calculate your rem
[editline]5th January 2011[/editline]
I just bought it for 59p holy shit that's a low price
Posting from my iPod as it downloads
I take it you set when you go to sleep/wake up and it bases it from that
Here, I'll upload mine from last night and then explain how it works. One second.

Basically you just put it on your bed and it uses the accelerometer to graph your movement. Or something. I don't know or care.
But it works, that's the important thing. As you can see, I hit REM twice, once roughly 90 minutes through sleep, and once again roughly 270 minutes through sleep. At six I woke up, then immediately did a WBTB, then as that phase naturally ended (roughly 3/4 between seven and eight on the graph), the alarm woke me up.
This is my first graph (new phone), but the more of them you create, the easier it'll be to determine a good window for WBTB, as well as the length of an LD you desire. (Later REM cycles create longer dreams, but you don't want to sleep TOO long.)
It's also nice because quite frankly it's good to know exactly how long you slept as well as your average sleep per night. Also it wakes you up slowly, which is even better. Play Beethoven for the best effect, I personally use Symphony No. 7, it starts off slow but builds up to wake you up naturally as you would anyway.
tl;dr Get it, it's awesome.
Plus it's only a dollar.

Why is it that when we are dreaming we never realise that we are supposed to be sleeping?[/QUOTE]
Your brain doesn't like to know it's being lied to. Besides, dreams feel real when you're in them, and you generally don't question your own reality, so you just assume it's real and don't question it.
[editline]5th January 2011[/editline]
btw adding sleep cycle to new op
Ok it's movement based
I was kind of close :v:
I did the test thing and it seems like it would work well, but I have one question
Does the alarm try to wake you during rem no matter when it is or do you have to find it out first
[editline]5th January 2011[/editline]
Is there some kind of uploader app I can use to show my screenshot
I take it rem is the lower points of the graph

It's actually really, REALLY well made.
You set a target time, let's say it's 9:00. Now, sleep cycles cycle in roughly 45 minute cycles, give or take 10 minutes or so. The app starts monitoring you very carefully at around 8:15. If you're in REM sleep, it lets you sleep. If you're coming out of it into light sleep, which is when you WANT to be woken up, it'll start to wake you up so you wake up really well.
Basically, you set your alarm for 9:00. It'll wake you up some time between 8:30 and 9:00, and you'll feel fantastic because you didn't wake up in the middle of REM. Damn alarm clocks.
[editline]5th January 2011[/editline]
And the best part is that even if you want to wake up at 9 but wake up at 8:30 instead, it's better to be woken up at 8:30, because you'll be in the light stages.
Yeah, use imgur.com.
And yes, REM is deep sleep. You should know that, Geo. >:(
I tend to start trying to sleep anywhere from 12 to 1:30, does the varying time matter if I wake up at 7
Nope, just set it for 7 or whatever and it'll wake you up within the half hour grace period before 7 so you'll feel great. Just experiment with it, it's great.
Just remember two things.
One, for the love of god, do not lock your iPod. The app will take care of that. You lock it, app stops and you sleep through whatever you set the alarm for.
Two, make sure you put it case down, and put it somewhere you're not super likely to roll over it.
Also make sure it's charged before you do it, and try to keep it plugged in WHILE the app runs. I have a wall charger so it doesn't matter to me, but I'm guessing the app is fairly CPU intensive.
[editline]5th January 2011[/editline]
bbl class
I do know that D:
I'm the official grumpy ted of this thread. Add that to next threads op as a forewarning
So does it register deep sleep by low movement? It must pick up really, REALLY slight movements
[editline]5th January 2011[/editline]
I have a USB to socket charger, I'm sorted
I had a lucid last night.but i was in such a rush this morning but i've forgotten most of it :smith:

Fucking iPod I pressed edit and it rated me artistic
Well that's my alarm. Fingers crossed my iPod doesn't fall off of my bed.
Yeah, it's super sensitive. Don't know how they did it, but it's great.
Bonus use, you'll probably get better clarity from this, the ability to know what dream came first is useful.
I take it you would be able to tell from length
I remember the order of my first lucid was a dream fragment, then a dream frag that ended lucid, then a full blown ld. I have no idea how I knew. I woke up during sold but my eyes were so tired when I closed them I insta-dreamed. That's what it felt like anyway. It was trippy shit.
[editline]6th January 2011[/editline]
Fucking autocorrect
Sold= DILD
Length, or some unusual recall. I don't know how most people recall. :< I am special.

I think I've read something explaining this before. I guess that dreaming is meant to be the mind's recreation - if we experienced it as if we were awake, then our mind would have to function in a similar way to when we're conscious, and so would not rest properly. That's my viewpoint on it, based on the scraps I remember from whatever the hell it was I must have read... It doesn't really make sense though, when you consider those people who lucid dream every night, or a lot, at least. And I've just completely contradicted myself. Sorry about that.
You're mostly right. The brain is fed information all day and when you sleep your brain is like WAT LOL and so then it has what are basically phantom thoughts which are so real that you just think it is without questioning it, because we rarely question reality (which is why reality checks becoming a habit is useful, they will carry over and fail).
[QUOTE=Oblivious1;27188242]Thats a scary thought. I'll try get checked.[/QUOTE]
Whoa, I totally missed this reply.
I was making a House reference. Sorry if I sounded serious.

Okay, so that makes me sound like a real dick. But I can't quite find a more... acceptable way of saying it.
Sorry about that.
Does sleeping on your stomach affect lucid dreaming at all?

My hate for all things apple has really screwed me over this time.
Nah, I sleep on my stomach almost all the time. Never mattered much to me.
Is there a Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock app for Android? That would be wonderful. Also, I had 2 WILDs in one night! That's a personal best so far, besides meeting my sub (which isn't that amazing).
[editline]5th January 2011[/editline]
Hmm the closest thing I could find was something called Smart Alarm Clock. I'll check it out.

Yeah it's basically the same thing :biggrin:

If you go to sleep at a certain time and wake up at a certain time every day, you could try blindly guessing and setting alarms for random times.
